It seems like even Bandai has quality issues with its design and production. The July release of the HGUC Zeta Plus from the UC Gundam OVA is facing a recall for 2 of its particular parts, namely pieces from the B Runner that forms its face-plate (B-4) and crotch (B-31).

Interestingly, aside from the physical identification of the faulty parts, owners are able to verify if they are the unlucky recipients of these hiccups from the box art which reflects artwork drawn with the faulty crotch.

At this point, the advisory and rectification steps for the recall process seems to be directed to owners living in Japan. If you are one of the unlucky owners residing out of Japan, you may wish to contact your local distributor for further details. Personally, I would not heed the recall and will instead, keep it as a memorabilia of some sort.
